About Caroline House
Caroline House is a residential care home in Horndean, Hampshire. We support adults with learning disabilities and autism, and adults with physical disabilities, including younger adults who are building the life they want rather than settling into retirement. That difference shapes everything about how we run the house. We think of this as somebody's home first and a care setting second. People choose how their room looks, what time they get up, what goes on the shopping list and what they do with the day. Our job is to make those choices possible, whether that means support with personal care, help to keep in touch with family, backing someone to hold down a college place or a job, or working out the practicalities of getting to a club on the other side of town. Autism support here starts with the person and not the label. Some people need quiet and a predictable shape to the week. Others want plenty going on. We ask, we watch, and we adjust, and we write down what works so that a new member of staff does not have to learn it all over again. We also offer respite stays, which give families a planned break and give the person staying a change of scene and some new company. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Visitors are welcome, and we would rather you came and saw the place for yourself than took our word for it.
